Dance Inspirations

In this interactive, fun and informative lecture demonstration, Freespace Dance teaches how inspirations can come from anywhere at any time and can be about anything. They show how to take ordinary ideas and make them extraordinary through creativity and structure. The dancers discuss everyday topics such as shapes, levels, pathways, numbers, and sentences to show how these ideas can become a dance. They even make a connection between dance and science with their crowd favorite chrysalis piece. Basic composition skills are introduced to the lower grades and explored deeper with the older grades. Through audience participation, the students are encouraged to find their own inspirations to make dances and learn basic tools in order to begin to form those inspirations. Dance Inspirations gives students an appreciation for dance as a creative, physical, and abstract art form and showcases how everyday topics can be inspirations for dance making.
